It has been really useful and enlightening. Thanks a lot!!!

Very helpful. This info wasn't covered during PPL on King Schools or Com with Flight Insight. First encountered this problem on Sheppard Air studying for COM written. Thank you!

This was an amazing illustration. I finally understood True Heading amongst other things! Please continue to make these How to Use the E6B videos you don't know how clear and concise you are.

Hi! I'm looking for one of these classroom sized E6-Bs. Where did you get yours?

[cemhizar]

Thanks for the video it's really helpfull to understand. I have a simple question. After marking the wind dot on 10 degree over 85 knots, you slided the dot on center line above the reference point. Do we always have to slide that dot above the reference point ? If you slided the dot below the reference point, the result would be different. How should i decide whether the dot will go below the reference point or above ? Thank you !

Hello sir. Where did you bought the huge flight computer? As gorund instructor, we are looking for one at our flightschoo. Thank you.

[SAGHAJAR]

Thanks for the explanation but I still don’t know what to do with my controls to get into the right direction.

What happened with this exercise which is more than 59 knots and not possible to use the e6b?

If a true heading of 230° results in a ground track of 250° and a true airspeed of 160 knots results in a groundspeed of 175 knots, the wind would be from
A. 135° and 59 knots.
B. 165° and 60 knots.
C. 343° and 60 knots.
